Vice President Harris’ former communications director recently expressed concerns about a potential threat to Harris' vice presidency in the form of Ohio Sen. JD Vance, a Republican who is being considered as former President Trump’s running mate for the 2024 election. Ashley Etienne, who served as Harris’ communications director in 2021, highlighted Vance's debating skills, describing him as an 'incredible debater' who could pose a challenge to Harris in upcoming debates.
Etienne emphasized Vance's ability to appeal to undecided voters and those who pay attention to debates, citing his intelligence, quick-wittedness, and sharpness as qualities that could make him a formidable opponent for Harris on the debate stage.
